3 pair of socks finished. They will be given away for an Christmas Fair at
my local hospital. I'm not used to knit socks with lace pattern, but these
one I think was easy and fun to make. Its from Drops Design 130-19. I used
Regia Sockyarn, the yellow is Trendpoint, the other to is in Sentimento.

Morning All, Well after completing 3 projects last week and raking leaves
all afternoon, I decided to put a new project on the needles using yarn from
my stash last evening. I chose Tanis Gray's "Fair Isle Peacock Hat" which is
really a two stranded work using sock yarn. The pattern comes from Carol
Sulcoski's book "Sock Yarn Studio".

I had put the prayer shawl aside to do a rush job on a baby blanket for
some friends I will see the week before Thanksgiving. I decided on a whim to
knit them something and then worked my tail off for fear that it would not be
finished in time. Instead I made it with time to spare....and watched a lot
of Star Trek in the process.

If you're in Seattle, visiting, or just a pacific northwesterner by
association, SMWK is still going strong. We have started a weekly Saturday
morning meetup at Kaladi Brothers Coffee on Capitol Hill, and we are still
meeting in the evenings on 2nd and 4th Thursdays.

To check our calendar, or just to keep up with your Seattle knitting
friends, join our Facebook and Meetup groups.

Last night while watching TV I started the Vertex Cowl with the Stonehenge
Crazy I purchased during our trip to Yale to visit our son. It was a free
pattern that came with the yarn. It is a simple chevron stitch pattern. It
was purchased at a great shop call Knit New Haven. Check it out if you're
every in the area. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. JRob

Well Lobsters in the Cathedral is done. It was fun designing and knitting
my first sweater not from a pattern. I am really pleased with the fit and the
way it turned out. Hope you all have a great weekend and find a little time
to knit. Regards to all my knitting brothers on this beautiful autumn day.,
JRob.
